The Family Center on Technology and Disability

Online Discussions

Welcome to the Family Center on Technology & Disability's Online Discussion Center. In our most recent discussion - Improving Teaching and Learning through Technology - Lisa Thumann and Karen Janowski shared best practices and dozens of useful resources and website links. We invite you to read the transcript of that discussion and of our many other information-rich forums on such topics as: AAC and vocabulary building, AT mediation, assistive technology outcomes, AT funding, AT research, Web accessibility, universal design, the SETT Framework, AT and occupational therapy, and emergent literacy.

You may also request a copy of the Family Center's "AT Resources" CD-ROM, which contains formatted, printable transcripts of previous discussions.

All FCTD online conferences are free, having been made possible by the U.S. Department of Education’s Office of Special Education Programs (OSEP).

You can receive email announcements of FCTD events by registering as a Family Center network member.
